American Version of Skins Coming to MTV
If you've ever seen the UK teen series Skins (with Dev Patel!), you know it puts the "scandalous lives" of the Gossip Girl kids to shame with its boundary-pushing scenes and language. Now, somehow MTV will adapt the series for American audiences. Here's more on the US version of the show:
MTV says it will continue the original show's production model using teenagers to help write the series and unknown age-appropriate actors to star.

Skins Cast Talk About Series Four At T4 On The Beach!
The fourth season of Skins begins shooting this month, and almost the entire cast were down at the beach at Weston-Super-Mare on Sunday for T4's live event! I saw Luke Pasqualino, Kaya Scodelario, Kathryn and Megan Prescott, Lily Loveless, Lisa Backwell, Klariza Clayton and Ollie Barbieri backstage at the bash, laughing and chatting with each other. Since they started working on the new series a week ago, the girls told me they've seen four scripts so far, so they know half the series' storylines — apparently they're deeper and darker than season three's plotlines!
Protect Your iPhone From Scratches With a Layer of Skin
When I came across the Infectious website (the name is oddly fitting) — which is packed with skins for your iPods, iPhones, and laptops — it took me a while to peel my eyes away from all the cool artist eye candy. I've already covered my laptop with a skin, so I guess it's only appropriate to slap a skin on my iPhone as well. Keeping your gadget safe from scratches, these skins are not only functional but are pretty easy on the eyes, like this Lomo-esque print I wouldn't expect to see on an iPhone.
A Selection Of Skins Sisters Past And Present Get Tormented
It was a Skins-fest at last night's premiere of new movie Tormented in London's Leicester Square. April Pearson and Larissa Wilson — who played Michelle and Jal in series 1 and 2 — both star in the British movie, while present castmembers Kaya Scodelario, Megan Prescott, Kathryn Prescott and Lily Loveless all showed up to support their costars and the film. The teen horror movie is about a bullied teenager comes back from the dead to take revenge on his classmates, and also stars Alex Pettyfer, Dimitri Leonidas, Sophie Wu and Mary Nighy.
Dev Discusses His Developing Career
Dev Patel had a fun chat with Nylon magazine during a recent photoshoot for their Young Hollywood issue in Philadephia. He's out in the States shooting his new movie The Last Airbender, directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
Will You Go And See The Skins Movie?
Channel 4 has confirmed that it is planning a Skins movie spin-off, Film4 are currently in "preliminary talks" about taking the Brit teen drama to the silver screen. There are no details on the plot yet, but wouldn't it be great if some of the old cast members came back to appear in the movie — maybe we'll see a Dev Patel cameo? A novel based on the series is also being written, but I have to say I'm most excited about the film adaptation.
Ed Californicates, While Kaya Speaks About Skins Series Four!
As you've seen, Sunday night's BAFTA TV Awards were celeb-filled with plenty of glamorous women, and suited and booted men! Our friends at t5m caught up with some of the celebs on the red carpet, including Ed Westwick who mentioned that he has a guest role on David Duchovny's Californication coming up before he goes back to filming Gossip Girl. Kaya Scodelario spoke about getting back to filming the new series of Skins in July, Davina McCall was pulling for the underdogs in the nominations, while Rob Brydon just wanted some attention!
